This little rose embellishment is 5/8" in diameter. It's done in white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. To get a better idea of the scale, see the finished card in my gallery: Easter Lamb & Chick card. It was inspired by the lovely punched flowers in kittie747's gallery.
Supplies:
Nestabilities scalloped oval, McGill perfect petals punch, bamboo skewer, large ball stylus, mouse pad, Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents, lightweight cardstock (I used 60# Hammermill Color Copy Cover)
Directions:
1. Die cut a mid-sized scalloped oval, approximately 2.5" x 2". Trim a narrow strip off one end that has six scallops. Punch three 3/8" flowers for the base petals. Color both fronts and backs of the cardstock pieces with Copics, making one end of the scalloped strip darker and fading to lighter.
2. For the leaves, punch a 5-petal pointed flower. Snip off two petals, leaving a set of three leaves in one piece. Color with Copics, drawing vein lines if desired.
3. Shape all the pieces by pressing from the wrong side with a large ball stylus on a soft surface, such as a mouse pad.
4. Glue the rose's three base petals together in a triangle, overlapping them in the center. Starting at the darkest end, roll the scalloped strip around something thin, such as a bamboo skewer. Remove skewer and glue the rolled center to the base petals. Curl back the top edges of a few petals.
5. Glue leaves to card, then glue rose on top of leaves.
I am sooooooooooooooooooooo copying these instructions and tryingthis rose. It is so precious. It looks like it was just picked. Your tinting with the Copics is so wonderful and I love that you deepened the olor the further into the flower you went.
